WASHBOILEB.

Application filed April 14,

To aZZwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADINA SMALL, a sub-' ject of the King of England, and resident of borough of Manhattan, county of New York, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washboilers of which the following is a specification.

The principal objects of this invention are to provide a device wherein colored and white clothes may be boiled simultaneously and yet out of contact with each other.

Another object is to provide a means for placing the clothes in the boiler without fear of scalding or burning the operator and removing them with equalifacility.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide means for removing the water from the boiler without removing the boiler from the stove, and I Another principal object is to provide means to prevent boiling over during the time when the cover is in'place. I

lVith these and other objects in View the device described is what I consider a good means of carrying out myinvention and the accompanying drawings should be re-- ferred to for a complete understanding of the specification which followsf 1 is a perspective view of my boiler with the cover removed.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a part.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the covers.

Fig. 4, a sectional. view of a relief valve.

Fig. 5 a plan view of a valve disc.

Similar reference numerals indicate like parts in all the figures where they appear.

Theboiler 6 may be of ordinary shape and size and is provided with handles 7; my boiler is also provided witha.plurality of slots 8. 9, 1O, 11, 12, 13, 14. and 15 at the upper or open edge thereoffor a purpose that shall appear later and entering in the boiler and quite close to the bot-tom thereof are rocks 16 and 17 by means of which water may be drawn off.

At about mid-length of the boiler I arrange a vertical partition 18 the upper edge of which 'rolled to produce one portion of a hinge. and the other portions of this hinge are formed integral with cover membars 19 and 20 one of which is arranged to cover each part of the boilerat the sides of the partition 18. The cover may be provided. with downwardly extending flanges stages of the invention.

members may be employed to raise the cover members. i i

Arranged in each cover member or section is a valve and I perforatethe cover sections as indicated at 23 in Fig. 4 placing the valve members over these perforations. In producing these perforations I severand push outward or upward and then inward at right angles certain portions of the material of the cover to form guides stops indi cated as individual members by the reference characters 24, 25 26, 27 and 28, 29, 30-, and 31, and when the pressure within'the boiler is increased by the Water therein boilng to produce steam, thevalve d1scs32 and 33 or either of them will be raised to let the steam p ass out under the discs, thus preventmg the lifting of the cover and thecrdmary action of boiling over.

I may provide two basket members 34: as

shown in Fig. 2 and each of these basket members should be provided with handles 35 and 36 having projections as indicated at 37, 38, 39 and 40 adapted to engage in the slots 12 13 114:, 15 or 8, 9,10 and 11 as the case may be to support the basket member above the bottom of the boiler. I

With this'c onstruction the boiler may be 1 made of any suitable material but the basket should be formed of copper or: otherm'aterial that will not stain the clothing.

The baskets may be of any size and other modifications may bemade within the scope of the appended claim without departing 19 and 20 for completely closing theboiler f and knobs 21 and 22' secured to the cover.
